Hi! 🖖️ I’m Jingrong.
I am a visual storytelling enthusiast. I enjoy the entire lifecycle of visualization, with a particular interest in visual analytics, information visualization and geospatial visualization. I am keen on integrating these visualization techniques and creative narratives to tell a compelling visual story.
I am currently a Data Visualization Specialist at MIT Senseable City Lab. Before that, I worked as an adjunct GIS specialist in the Data Services Lab at New York University Division of Libraries. I studied Applied Urban Science and Informatics at NYU Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP), and Urban Planning at Tianjin University in China.
